Rust Resistant



Rust-Resistant Body

1. General

Rust-resistance performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel, as well as by an anti-corrosion treatment which includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood, doors and rocker panels.

2. Anti-Corrosion Sheet Steel





Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used as shown in the following illustration.

3. Under Coat





PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coating is applied to the underside of the body. The fender apron and other areas, which are subject to damage by flying stones, etc., are given a thick coating to improve rust-resistance performance.
